Contributed by John Huyser on Feb 8, 2023

A United Ministry (Numbers 8)

Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Nov 10, 2024

Unlike our churches, the Levites were united in ministry. What can we learn from Numbers 8?

Did the menorah picture the tree of life and a light to the nations? What can we learn from the ordination of the Levites? How does that compare to elders and deacons? Let’s look at Numbers 8. Is it significant that the lampstand is a unit, but the seven churches of Revelation are individual ...read more

Contributed by Pastor Renji George on Aug 5, 2024

Another thing to remember is fruit of the Holy Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23) is more important than the gifts of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 12:4-11). Gifts of the Holy Spirit without the fruit of the Holy Spirit is a counterfeit.

From Genesis 1:2 to Revelation 22:17, the Bible records constant references to the Holy Spirit—His person and His work. Like the Father and the Son, He has all the attributes of the Godhead and is especially active in the world scene. Though He is the “Sent One” by both Christ and the Father, He ...read more
